Before shooting, the slave unit and master unit should be set on the same channel. S1 and S2 mode are suitable for MANUAL flash environment and TTL flash environment respectively. Under these two modes, the way to adjust the output is like that in M mode only by the function button [ ]and rotate the [ ]. SC: Indicating that it can only receive wireless signal from Canon system, avoiding Nikon system. SN: Indicating that it can only receive wireless signal from Nikon system, avoiding Canon system. SC&SN：Both support Canon & Nikon system. S1 mode: In this mode it will work with the first flash synchronously of the master flash, with the result consistent with the use of radio slave. To use this mode properly, the master flash should be set at manual flash and the TTL flash system with preflight function and the red-reduction function with multiple flashes should not be used. S2 mode: It is also called "pre-flash cancel mode". This mode is similar with S1 mode, but it can neglect the pre-flash given by TTL flash. Therefore, it can support the master flash working in TTL mode. In particular, if S1 mode cannot flash properly and synchronically with your internal flash, you can tr y to use S2 mode. *Commonly used trigger mode can be set by C.Fn-10 . -14-
Advanced Applications 1.Flash Exposure Compensation(FEC) In order to make the shooting effect more suitable to your needs, you can set the flash exposure compensation through the camera or on the flash. The exposure compensation value is within the range of -3EV~+3EV. lt can be set through pressing the function button [ ]and rotating the [ ]. NOTE: When the speedlite, camera and trigger have set the exposure compensation at the same time, which will overlap the exposure compensation. 2.Flash Exposure Bracketing (FEB) The FEB function can be set through the camera. After the exposure bracketing being set, after ever y 3 photos being taken, exposure compensation will be made automatically, for exsample, exposure in the sequence of normal->under>over. This function helps you improve the success rate of shooting. The function need to operate on the camera, for the detailed operation method please refer to your camera manual.
NOTE: When using the exposure bracketing, we suggest you set the driving mode of the camera as “single shot”,and check if the flash back to full charger before shooting. 3.FV Lock To use this function should be first set the [AE/AF-L] function button to “FV Lock”on the camera. At the moment please focus on the subject through the view window, and then press the [AE/AF-L] button. The speedlite will fire preflish to obtain the flash exposure degree of the subject. Then press the camra shutter when you confirm the shooting scene framework .(The function can only be used when it is supported by your camera. For the setting method please refer to your camera manual.) 4.High-speed Sync Flash With high-speed sync (FP flash), the flash can be synchronized with all shutter speeds, the maximum shutter sync is up to 1/8000s. High-speed synchronization is particularly convenient to use aperture priority to fill flash for the portraits. Through the camera menu, set the flash sync speed to Auto FP, the speedlite will enable the high-speed sync function automatically. 5.Second-curtain Sync Flash After the second-curtain sync enabled, the speedlite will flash at the moment when the shutter is going to be shut. Use the slow-speed shutter and secondcurtain sync can make image tail for the shooting subject. The High-speed sync/second curtain sync flash function can only be used when it is supported by your camera. For the setting method please refer to your camera manual. -15-
Advanced Applications 6.Use Wide Panel Pull out the Wide panel, push back the Reflection board and arrange them as per the figure; in such case, the flash scopes will extent to 14 mm ,the flash range will be enlarged and the effect will be softer and more natural.
7.Reflection Flash Bounce flash means to take photos by making flash light head aimed at wall or ceiling and using the light reflected back from the ceiling or wall to light the desired object, so that the shade behind the object can be decreased to get more natural shooting effect.
If the wall or ceiling is too far, the bounce flash may be too weak to get enough exposure. The wall or ceiling should be even and white in order to get efficient reflection, if the reflection surface is not white, color cast may appear in photo.
8.Use Reflection Board For shooting with the reflection board in flash, pull out the reflection board and the wide panel out from the light head at the same time and then push the wide panel back . In such case, if this product is being used to take photos, it will produce a highlighted point on the eyes of the subject and thus make the eyes charming (catching light). This function can reach optimal effect when the flash head is up 90°. 9.Using the diffuser(Options) Fitting the diffuser lets you diffuse the light from the flash over a wide range, producing a softer light and reducing shadows. When fitting the diffuser, the zoom position is locked, you can change the setting by P.Fn05.

Advanced Applications 10.Short Distance Flash Shooting When you position the flash head down by 7° , you can shoot subjects at a short distance in a range of approx. 0.5 to 2 m.
11.PC Sync port (input) Through connecting to the PC sync por t, you can make the flash synchronously. 12.Use the External Batter y Pack You can purchase the external batter y pack SF-18C or SF-17C,connect it to the external power socket of the speedlite, even when using external power, insert batteries into the speedlite. After flash the batter y pack will charge for the speedlite. 13.High-speed Continuous Shooting The flash can support the high-speed continuous shooting function. Please set the camera in the continuous shooting form and then shoot. 14.Factor y reset Long press the function button 2 and button 3 can set the flash shooting function settings and wireless shooting setting recover to the default set-top TTL flash mode status. Clean the custom function settings(C.Fn) and personal function settings(P.Fn) please read the related chapter. 15.Firmware Upgrade 1).Log in the YONGNUO official website ( w w w. h k y o n g n u o . c o m ) t o d o w n l o a d t h e upgrade software and the latest firmware. 2).Power off, use USB-Micro USB cable connect to PC.
